Gallenkamp Vacuum Oven

Applications & Use Cases

• Drying heat-sensitive materials under reduced pressure, preventing degradation.
• Degassing compounds to remove trapped gases or moisture.
• Curing resins and adhesives in a controlled, oxygen-free environment.
• Vacuum baking components to achieve ultra-clean surfaces.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For tabletop units of this class, internal chamber volumes typically range from 10 to 50 litres.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 1-phase. Gallenkamp vacuum ovens commonly operate on standard UK single-phase power (230V, 50Hz).

Temperature range

Gallenkamp vacuum ovens typically offer a temperature range from ambient to around 200-250°C, with precise digital control.

Vacuum level

Units of this type are commonly capable of achieving vacuum levels down to 0.1 mbar or lower, depending on the pump used.

Chamber material

The internal chamber is typically constructed from stainless steel for durability and ease of cleaning.

Footprint

As a tabletop unit, the footprint is typically compact, designed for laboratory or small-scale production environments.
